Then there was the time he sent lots of exotic meats my direction, which became "lost" for awhile in the mail... That was a mess that my local post office wont soon forget!

Well I bet that was a smelly situation depending on how long the stuff was "lost".

I went to Houston to visit some family this summer and my Uncle sent some caribou home with me. It is good but hard to cook. The only way I have found to cook it and be able to eat it was to beat the crap out of it with a meat mallet or throw it in the crock pot for about 4-5 hours. It is tasty stuff but tough as a boot.

Oh, it was smelly! You could tell that it had been re-wrapped by just about every post office that it stopped at in an effort to calm the smell down, then the last covering was something that resembled what I think a HAZMAT bag would look like... It was left on my front porch, but was quickly left on the back loading dock of the post office with a note to the post master.

Actually I use tenderloin for this occasionally. If you pull it off when it is just done then it isn't really dry. I think the bacon helps to keep the loin from drying out too. Cooking time was between 30 and 45 minutes.
